The teenager had been referred to the Princess Royal Hospital in Telford for assessment of a urology-related problem – but will be 18 when the day of his appointment comes around. Talking on the show, Vanessa said:"How can you condemn a boy to discomfort or something that's not quite right, for years – literally years – and say you've got to carry on living like that at a formative time of his life?The boy's father said he was astonished after Shrewsbury & Telford Hospital NHS Trust confirmed that the date given in the letter was not a typo.It said recruitment issues and the"continued impact of Covid" were part of the problem.
